ISS On-Orbit Status Report

ISS Daily Summary Report – 12/16/13

External Thermal Control System (ETCS) Loop A Status: ETCS Loop A is still operating without full temperature control. All Loop A Interface Heat Exchangers (IFHX) remains bypassed and isolated, preventing internal heat rejection on loop A. ETCS Loop B continues to operate nominally. MCC-H continues to perform tests on ETCS Loop A to determine if they can regain enough temperature control to allow IFHX reintegration. Due to the loss of heat rejection for the Node 2 Moderate Temperature Loop (MTL), half of the loads in the Node 2, JEM and Columbus modules remain powered off.

Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Materials Review: FE-3 Hopkins, FE-5 Mastracchio, and FE6 Wakata reviewed EVA materials associated with replacing the ETCS Loop A Pump Module. Included in the package was an overview of each of the three potential EVAs, summary timelines, procedures, translations paths, pump module diagrams and photographs.

Equipment Lock Preparation: In support of the potential EVA,Hopkins and Mastracchio prepared drink bags, BIO Medical equipment, prebreathe equipment, and verified required hardware was located in the Airlock.

EVA Mobility Unit (EMU) On-Orbit Fit Check: Hopkins and Mastracchio donned their EMUs to verify correct EMU sizing prior to possibly performing an EVA to replace the ETCS Loop A Pump Module. During this test the EMU comm and data signals were also checked out successfully.

EMU Helmet Absorption Pad (HAP) Familiarization: Hopkins and Mastracchio familiarized themselves with the absorption properties of the HAP. They then reported saturation results and downlinked video to the ground.
